African Lion: male coalitions
S1 • E23 Jul 1, 2008
At the age of two young male lions are exiled from their natal prides. To improve their chances of survival the newly independent youngsters band together to form a coalition. Coalition groups hunt together and claim territories but their ultimate goal is to win over a pride of their own. Female lions only mate with resident males so if the young lions want to be king they will have to win the pride over using sheer force.
